Dental Problems, Treatment, and Prevention Causes and Prevention Teeth can occasionally chip or fracture when you bite down on something hard, like a popcorn kernel or hard bread. Often teeth that have fillings or root canals are at higher risk, because they are not as strong as those that have not had these procedures. However, even intact teeth can chip or fracture if you happen to bite down in just the wrong way on something hard. If you have fillings on your back teeth, try to avoid chewing on bones, hard candies, and ice. Wear a mouth guard if you play sports that could injure your teeth. A survey of college basketball players found that mouth guard users had a much lower risk of dental injuries. Teeth are built to chew and grind food. But if you grind or clench them often, you can damage their surfaces over time. Too much grinding can also cause headaches, muscle pain, and jaw injury. Many people who grind a lot don't realize they have a problem un...

One of the most common questions we get from our patients is how to take care of their mouths after any type of Oral Surgery ; primarily extractions.  While the mouth can be a bit sore after procedures such as prepping for a crown, fillings, etc. (swishing with warm salt water will help soothe the gums), we run into the most problems when it comes to extractions.  The following tips will help heal the gums as fast as possible and make for an experience involving as little pain and discomfort as possible! 1. Starting the day AFTER the extraction, swish 3 to 4 times a day with warm salt water (about a teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of water).  After swishing for about 30 seconds, stand over the sink and let the salt water mixture “drool out”, do not forcefully spit it out! 2. DO NOT drink through a straw for at least 72 hours. 3. If you are a smoker, hold off for as long as possible.  We recommend at the VERY LEAST 72 hours, however th...

The Importance of Flossing - Dental Care One of the questions that we ask every one of our patients is how often do you floss your teeth?  The most common answer we get is two to three times per week.  While we highly recommend flossing once a day (preferably at night after you have brushed your teeth), we want to give our patients some other uses for all that dental floss that they have lying around! 5 Simple Uses For Dental Floss  1. Use unflavored dental floss to cut through cakes, soft cheeses, fresh baked bread, etc.  Simply wind the floss around your pointer fingers and use a slight sawing motion to get the perfect slice!  2. Use dental floss to hang pictures, ornaments, and even wind chimes!  During the holiday season dental floss can be used to string popcorn together to decorate your Christmas tree by tying it to the end of a sewing needle!  3. If you are ever camping and run out of fishing line, dental floss can be us...
